Z BTR-MDM little photo comparison

A little photo comparison between the BTR-MDM from Stan Models (3d print) and the one from Tankograd (resin).

Z (30) BTR-MDM Rakushka (Russia)

For the history and specifications of the BTR-MDM Rakushka, I refer you to my previous post Z(27) about the 3D printed version of this vehicle by Stan Models.

Here we can find the resin version by Tankograd. Pre-dating the 3D printing revolution, this model is very fine and nicely done but missing a certain number of details that you have to add yourself "the old-fashioned way" 😉 Although a little smaller than the Stan Models version, the kit look pretty good, with some battle damages added and supplemented here with Alex Miniatures figurines and various accessories.

Z (27) BTR-MDM Rakushka (Russia)

The BTR-MDM Rakushka (Shell) is a tracked armoured personnel carrier based on the BMD-4M chassis and destined to replace the BTR-MD in the Russian Airborne Forces (VDV) which received the first vehicles in 2015. The BTR-MDM is of all-welded aluminium construction providing the crew with protection from small arms fire and shell splinters. The driver is seated at the center front with a seat on either side of him, the left one for the commander. At the rear of the vehicles there are individual seats for 12 soldiers maximum. The BTR-MDM is equipped with a remote weapon station mounted on the to left side of the hull armed with a 7.62mm or a 12.7mm machine gun. Another 7.62mm machine gun is mounted at the front right side of the hull and two smoke grenade dischargers are mounted to each side.

The 3D printed model is from STAN models  and is a very nice one that I have been waiting for a long time. I just made some small corrections, added a camouflage net (self-made with Green stuff), some gear (Scale23) and 2 figures from Alex Miniature and one from China.
